Background

This page is to support curation of electronic parts, supplies, and tools donated by the late Fred Ebeling with an eye towards managing existing and future resources at Splatspace (Durham Makerspace). Fred was a consummate design engineer in the Triangle area. A tribute to Fred by mentee Praneet Athalye is available here. The coordinator of the curation project is Pete Soper.

Plan

Initial labeling/cataloging of Fred's donation at the RAD Lab DIYBio popup. Map here This is diagonally across the parking lot from Scrap Exchange in an ex-beauty salon (called "Belle Amour") at 25 Shoppers Lane, Durham, NC.

Arrange permanent storage. This will most likely involve swapping existing supplies out of the current Splatspace location or else splitting the collection between the current Splatspace location and temporary, sealed storage at a place TBD.

Implementation

NOTE: This work is NOT happening at Splat Space, it's happening at RAD Lab (see details and pointer to Google Map above).

Sunday August 13, 2017 2:30pm to 4:30pm. Two particpants (Ryan, Pete). Pre-labeled all the wire and cable boxes.

Tuesday August 15, 2017 2:00pm to 6:00pm. Two participants (Jeremy, Pete). Put all the wire and cable boxes into the spreadsheets.

Thursday August 17, 2017 2pm-6pm. Two participants (Tony M, Pete). More boxes labeled, photographed, and entered into the spreadsheets. Also did a quick evaluation of the surface mount parts donated to Splat by Scrap Exchange. These are reels of parts designed to feed automated pick and place machines.

Saturday August 19, 2017 10am-4pm. (Shaw, Ryan, Martin, Sarah, Pete). Settled on Django as a framework for post-spreadsheet software. Pre-labeled all remaining boxes. Cataloged a key SMD collection and a few other boxes.
